IRL = In Real Life (I think) but I don't like that term, hence when I've said it I say "real life" just as a way to distinguish, because that implies that friends you make online aren't real, but I feel they can be just as real and true as any friend.

I know what u mean but there will be always some differnce no matter how close or anything... I can never express myself in real life like i do on online and sometime i think i do too much lol. And i did talk to couple of people who i'm close online though phone.... and beleive me its hard to make decent conversation through phone and we endup talking just about weathers and stuff like that lol, where in online we never need or think to talk about something for hrs and hrs....
I never get angry or show my anger outside in real but in online i can be really annyoing at time and can be demanding too hehe.....
In real life even my best friends i don't talk for months and months and sometimes years but still be same when we talk or meet... and in net i need to talk on regular basis or else i feel something missing or wrong... (well i got to say, that has changed a bit in last few months... and the one i'm really close online, not talking on regular basis anymore but i still think we are close like before....).
I don't argue much in real life and u usualy make out my face whether i;m happy with something or not... But in net i can keep aruge for hrs and hrs on same subjects lol and sometimes for days...

Well how much we think both are same but there will be always differnce in the way we express ourself in real and on net.....unless u meet in real life on regular basis and then it will total differnt sistuation. We may never tell some secrets to the closest one in real life but meight have tell the one in net... For me both are real friends but in differnt way.....

IRL friends can do this as well.
that is why I said exactly in the first place. I had friends in real life that turned out to be just not so nice and we parted ways. There could be a number of reasons why people/friends part ways and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the quality of the personalities involved.

I find it sad that some people try to force their friendships upon others and constantly try to make one feel guilty for not spending enough time with them. IRL as on the net, this ticks me off real bad and will inevitibly result in the loss of that 'friendship' (which of course it never was in the first place, cause real friends would never use blackmail).

Sigh, then there are friends that will never take your word for what it is, they'll always claim they listen, but then they'll go on and 'think up' weird shit as to why one did what.

End of rant.

Fact of life, sometimes you need to get to know people to realize that you need to stay away from them. Online on in real life - there is no difference.

How to know its not, when they don't talk at all....????. When u go from talking too much to talking nothing at all, then its hard to make out whats wrong really...but all u can make out something wrong...

And i said this too...

You mean if when u stop talking one fine day to a friend and they keep asking whats wrong or asking for reason, u take it as blackmail...?. And don't think friend has right to ask ??

May be what u saying is not what u doing..??? or may be what u explaining not making sense?

You take pretty much long to release things like that

Well, I agree with you on this. It just depends on the person and if a freind turns out to be an asshole, it doesn't matter where you've met him; IRL or on the net.

Very true. Bumped my head a few times, unfortunately.

She's making perfectly sense, Allwyn. You probably misunderstood her or taking things the wrong way.

ha, it's like those ex-boyfriends that constantly call wanting to know what they did wrong and promise to change and keep annoying the living shit out of one.

I guess no explanation will do for some people, it's just the way it is....
